Metro Systems in Year 200: Modernization, Diversification, and Expansion Abstract Mr. Vukan R. Vuchic deals with the latest developments of metro networks and with their future state in the 21st century. He recalls the basic characteristics of metro and the positive and stimulating role it can play in large cities. While its first networks were opened more than a century ago, metro still knows an important growth: for example, it is the best adapted means of transport in some large cities in developing countries. Furthermore, technical improvements and a diversification of existing systems allow an ideal adaptation to the particular conditions of each city. At the end of the article, the author goes on with the debate begun in the issue 3/1986 of the Revue following the World Bank study.

Sažetak Gradovi Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne i Liverpool su europski gradovi sa različitim sustavom podzemne željeznice čiji razvoj odgovara ekonomskoj situaciji gradskih središta. Trenutno stanje pojedinih podzemno željeznićkih sustava i njihova primjenjena tehnologija uvelike odražava stanje razvoja javnog gradskog prijevoza i mreže javnog gradskog prometa. Svaki od prijevoznika u podzemnim željeznicama u tim gradovima ima različiti tehnički pristup obavljanja javnog gradskog prijevoza te korištenjem optimalnim brojem motornih prijevoznih jedinica osigurava zadovoljenje potreba javnog gradskog i metropolitanskog područja grada. Kroz usporedbu tehničkih podataka pojedinih podzemnih željeznica može se uvidjeti i zaključiti koji od sustava podzemnih željeznica je veći i koje oblike tehničkih rješenja koristi. Ključne riječi: Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne, Liverpool, podzemna željeznica, javni gradski prijevoz, linija, tip vlaka, tvrtka, prihod, cijena. Summary Cities Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne and Liverpool are european cities with different metro system by wich development reflects economic situation of city areas.

The emphasis has been on fishes generally but these studies have also contributed greatly to our knowledge of chondrichthyans in the region, as well as across the broader Indo–West Pacific. An annotated checklist of cartilaginous fishes of the Philippines is compiled based on historical information and new data. A Taiwanese deepwater trawl survey off Luzon in 1995 produced specimens of 15 species including 12 new records for the Philippines and a few species new to science.

  • James Mill, “Review of M. De Guignes, Voyages À Peking
    James Mill, “Review of M. de Guignes, Voyages à Peking, Manille, et l’Ile de France, faits dans l’intervalle des a nnées 1784 à 1801,” The Edinburgh Review 14 (July 1809): 407-429. the original text In the small catalogue of rational books which we possess on the subject of China, this deserves to occupy a respectable station. The recent work of Mr Barrow is that with which it is most natural for us to compare it: and, though not in all, yet, in several respects we are inclined to give it the preference to that judicious publication. The author, from long residence in the country, and from a knowledge of the language, is less new to his subject, and more master of it. He has formed a more accurate estimate than Mr Barrow, of certain important particulars in the political and social state of the Chinese. But his book is not so rich, by any means, in facts. We have the author’s own observations on the appearances which struck him; and these are often very good — but Barrow has more uniformly described to us the various phenomena which presented themselves in the course of his interesting progress. It is true, indeed, and this is what should be remembered in behalf of both, that their opportunities of observing facts, by the restrictions, or rather imprisonment, under which they were held by the pitiful policy of this illiberal and ignorant people, were extremely circumscribed. The name of De Guignes is intimately associated with that of China in the minds of all those to whom the history of the oriental nations has been an object of attention.
